Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of a-CN x Films Prepared by Bias Voltage Assisted PLD with Carbon Nitride Target
Abstract : Amorphous carbon nitride (a-CN x) films were deposited on silicon substrates using pulsed laser deposition technique (PLD) with a carbon nitride target and a negative bias voltage up to -120 V. The microstructure, chemical composition, bonding configuration and mechanical properties of the films were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, nanoindentation and ball-on-disc abrasion test. The results show that the negative bias voltage promotes the formation of sp 3 hybridization bonding and leads to a great improvement of nitrogen content (up to 38 at.%) in the films. With an increasing bias voltage from -40 V to -120 V, the nitrogen content and the fraction of sp 3 hybridization bonding Corresponding author.
